TRAK is run by tenants and residents from the Kirkholt area, who volunteer their time free of charge, to allow the community base to be open three days a week. The association is managed and administered by a committee, made up of tenants and residents who live in Kirkholt.
Membership is free to all those people living within the boundaries of the Tenants & Residents Association (see Area of Benefit Map).

How TRAK is funded
TRAK receives a grant from the Tenant Participation Unit of Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) which is based upon the number of RBH tenant properties within the boundaries of the association (area of benefit). The grant is issued twice a year in March and September.
